mtr package is in community, not mtr-tiny, which is a version of mtr without gtk (and its dependency) About awesome and cairo-xcb, i hope Jan, will accept to add --enable-xcb in configure in cairo extra package to enable xcb support. There may be reasons to include or not these packages that I did not see. In this case I would abstain. -- Sébastien Luttringer www.seblu.net
